Hello Friends,
This blog explains how to implement singleton design pattern in c#. So lets start with few basic things:--

What is Singleton ?

A singleton is a class which only allows one instance of itself to be created - and gives simple, easy access to instance.They fall in to the Creational patterns categories.

What does Singleton Offer ?

The Singleton pattern restricts the class to be instantiated only once and has a global point of access. In other words you can say class is static but can be instantiated.

Instance Control:- Singleton creates only one instance and prevents any further copies, and ensure that all object access the single instance.

Flexibility:- In singleton class controls the instantiation process.

Parameters:- Singleton class can be used as parameters or objects.

How it can be implemented ? You need to follow these steps to create a singleton pattern.

• Declare a static object variable.
• Declare private constructor to avoid new object creation.
• Declare a public property which can be accessed outside of the class.

• Instantiate an object and assign it to the private variable.

  Example:- If you are designing a logging system then only one instance of logger is required to handle the log requests coming from different sources.

public class Singleton
{
   private static Singleton instance ; //Private static object declaration 
 
   //Private construction declaration for prevent object creation  
  private Singleton ()
  {
  }
 
   //A public property to access outside of the class to create an object 
   public static Singleton Instance
   {
     get
     {
         if(instance==null)
         {
                instance= new Singleton();
         }
         return instance;
      }
   }
}

public class Singleton
{
   private static Singleton instance ; //Private static object declaration 

   //Private construction declaration for prevent object creation  
  private Singleton ()
  {
  }

   //A public property to access outside of the class to create an object 
   public static Singleton Instance
   {
     get
     {
         if(instance==null)
         {
                instance= new Singleton();
         }
         return instance;
      }
   }
}
